Professor, University of Groningen
6th International Conference on Epigenetics and Bioengineering
October 27, 2022 to October 29, 2022
EpiBio explores the basics and cutting-edge technologies and applications related to the epigenome. The conference brings together interdisciplinary expertise in the field — allying biology, chemistry, physics, data processing (bioinformatics), and engineering to foster the development of novel methodologies and tools to answer biological questions in epigenetics. You’ll gain an understanding of current advances and future prospects in epigenetic engineering.
Important Dates:
Abstract submission deadline: September 23, 2022
Early bird rates: Deadline September 27, 2022
